What the Flying Spaghetti Monster giveth He also taketh away.<BR/><BR/>I had a good three quarts of sauce and more than a dozen meatballs left over from last night, but when I came back to the kitchen to put it away after letting it cool I found I had left the stove on. On low, so the house wasn't on fire, but it had been there long enough it had burnt to the bottom of the pan and there was no salvaging it. <BR/><BR/>Alas! Ai! Woe! For I am hungry now, and lo! Leftovers would have been <I>so</I> nice. <BR/><BR/>For all we have in the house otherwise is cereal and skim milk. :/Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538044570680239501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-13208493244958062282008-06-30T10:32:00.000-04:002008-06-30T10:32:00.000-04:00I thought it was Flying Bisketti Monster.

But, that's just me. I am sure that pastafariens feel equally served.<BR/><BR/>But no, no Santa here. And I can't bring myself to believe in those little people who keep hiding my stuff.
